Truly no words can capture how amazing our experience with Hotel LBI was. Exactly one month out from our wedding date, our original venue called to tell us they could no longer host our wedding. As fate would have it, Hotel LBI had our date available, and it ended up being the best thing to happen to us. From the very first panicked phone call to Donna, she turned what was a stressful time into a dream experience. She was so empathetic to our situation, willing to work with us, and up for the challenge of putting our wedding together in under 30 days. Every interaction was kind, professional, and encouraging. The entire planning process was seamless despite the time crunch we were in. She makes you feel like you’re the only and most important couple she is working with. We absolute love her!! On the day of, everything went better than we could have imagined. The venue was beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food is great. The bridal assistant Leah is a super hero. She was by my side all day, with a fanny pack that always had whatever random item I found myself needing. Due to some happy tears, my make up smudged a bit. Not only did she race up to the room to grab my make up bag, she redid the area for me and saved the day. I also spilled espresso martini down my dress minutes before the ceremony, and she quickly got the stain out before I even had time to process it. Vinny our maître D was also there every second with a smile, drinks for us, and asking what we needed. They are truly the best of the best. Our only regret is not booking with Hotel LBI from the beginning. What started as a nightmare, turned into the best day of our lives thanks to Donna and the Hotel LBI staff. I will never forget them

If you’re thinking about booking The Atlantis Ballroom as your venue, DO IT!!!! I literally cannot recommend them enough. LONG story short, we were two days away from our wedding and got a call our venue could no longer accommodate us. Realizing we had no time to panic and had to figure something out, my (now) husband suggested that we check out the Atlantis Ballroom because he’s been to several events there and they had always been nice. Not only were they able to make an entire wedding happen in just TWO DAYS notice, but they went above and beyond! Everyone we dealt with was so friendly. The food was AMAZING. Our cake was so cute! Literally everything was better than perfection. They had a huge supply of decorations/colors/etc. that we were able to pick for them to use to decorate the ballroom and for the cocktail hour. They also used some of our own stuff at our request since I already worked so hard on it. They were able to accommodate every single person who had a dietary restriction (keto, GF, allergies). We got married 3 months ago and every time I see anyone that was at our wedding, they rave about how it was the best and most fun wedding they ever went to! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Jen and everyone else at The Atlantis Ballroom. There’s no way you’ll be disappointed in your choice by going with The Atlantis Ballroom for any of your events! I know I’ll definitely host any of my events there and I recommend to everyone I know. Thank you again for making our wedding the most magical day

Choosing Swan Lake Resort as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. Not only is the location absolutely gorgeous—peaceful, intimate, and perfect for the kind of small wedding we envisioned—but it also came with the incredible bonus of having Lauren Dabney as our wedding coordinator. From our very first interaction, Lauren was outstanding. She was warm, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Throughout the planning process, she kept everything simple, stress-free, and smooth—exactly what I had hoped for. Her communication was always timely, and she made sure every detail was thought through. Nothing was overlooked. On the big day, Lauren truly delivered. The setup was flawless, the flow of the day was seamless, and she managed everything with a calm, professional presence and a constant smile on her face. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—she had it all under control, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in every moment. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and a huge part of that is thanks to Lauren and the beautiful setting at Swan Lake Resort.

We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience at Renault! From the moment we signed the contract with Chloe, everything was seamless. Planning our rehearsal dinner with Rylee was just as easy — and then came the big weekend, which truly exceeded all our expectations. Jon and Natasha were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and we felt so supported the entire time. The whole team was fantastic — kind, professional, and always willing to help or accommodate in any way they could. Our wedding was truly perfect, and we couldn’t have done it without such an amazing team behind us. Special shoutout to Jon and Natasha for being the absolute best — we’re so grateful! The only thing that didn't go as planned was they cancelled the fire works the week of the wedding and given that we were getting married on 4th of July we were super excited but other than that it was amazing. Can’t wait to come back and visit. Thank you again for everything!

Blue Heron Pines outdid themselves! From the communication, the food, the venue itself, everything was amazing. Tara was great to work with throughout the time leading up to the wedding and Sarah was very helpful the day of. I even had a personal coordinator (Jeanine) who made sure I always had something to eat and drink and even assisted with pictures by holding the train of my dress and bouquet. She was always there when I needed something, I can’t say enough good things about her! The venue included everything you could think of. Multiple ceremony sites, reception area, amazing food, open bar, dessert room and even included a wedding cake from their chosen bakery!! Even down to the details..tables, chairs, table linens, napkins, center pieces, etc. It made planning less stressful knowing they provided so much! I highly recommend!

We attended my brother's wedding at Valenzano Winery's Winemaker's Ballroom. I officiated the ceremony, that was in the garden area, next to lush vineyards and an Italian Fountain. I have never seen a more beautiful ceremony backdrop!!! We were then escorted into the Barrel Room for Cocktail Hour. This is where they actually MAKE the wine. The LED lights reflected off the Stainless Steel Barrels, for such a Unique Experience. The hors d'oeuvres were SO plentiful and the Staff was courteous, informative and FUN!!!

The Shore Club was a cost-effective choice for our wedding venue. The communication with their event coordinator was direct, easy and quick, making planning straightforward. While the venue itself is dated with a basic design, we felt it was a good value for the price. The simple layout allowed us to decorate the space and make it our own for the big day. Guests commented that they enjoyed the food. We had about 170 people in their large ballroom and it was packed. I wouldn’t recommended for parties closer to 200, unless able to max out all tables at 10-12 guests. For couples looking for an affordable venue option without too many frills, The Shore Club offers convenience and practicality.

Oh my goodness where do I begin?! The experience of having our wedding at Resorts Casino has been nothing short of amazing. Nancy is an absolute treasure and pleasure to work with from start to finish. With the help of Anthony they turned our magical day into an absolute dream that not only we enjoyed but all of our guest. We had a serious loss in our family two months before our wedding and Nancy took a lot of weight off of our shoulders and came up with solutions to help us get through the day. Nancy and he team are there for you every step of the way and make you feel like royalty, treating you like gold. In a historic place like Resorts casino is a great place to have a wedding for not only the old school Atlantic City feel but the food and hospitality is out of this world. The chef created food that had our family and friends talking days after the wedding. We will forever have this wonderful memory of our wedding day and it is all because of Nancy, Anthony, and Resorts Casino for making our dreams come true. There is a true love for them all!

We had our wedding reception at Cardinal and could not have anticipated truely how amazing it was. Their staff was incredibly accommodating. The food by chef Michael Brennan was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the décor fit our theme perfectly. I had a vision and they truly brought it to life working with me, as the bride every step of the way. We wanted to have an after party to be able to celebrate with more friends and they hands down made it the best, allowing us to take over the entire venue. Cardinal is absolutely beautiful for all kinds of weddings and events but it was breathtaking for ours as we wanted it to be a quintessential Atlantic City wedding. They even let us use their authentic vintage rolling chair for our entrance. I was told on multiple accounts, it was everyone's favorite wedding they ever attended and we would not have been able to do it without Cardinal and the amazing and talented staff there. Thank you, The Burnsides

From the very first tour with Brenda, we knew Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm was truly special. There was an immediate warmth and sense of family that carried through every step of the planning process and into our wedding day. Our guests felt that same warmth. Allie, our Day of Coordinator, was absolutely incredible. Her organization, calm presence, and attention to detail made our entire day seamless and completely stress free. She and her team captured my vision perfectly and ensured everything flowed beautifully from start to finish. The farmhouse was the perfect space for getting ready, and every single person we worked with was attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in our experience. We also used Johnson’s in-house floral team, and Carol and her team completely blew us away. The florals were beyond anything I could have imagined and seeing them for the first time brought me to tears. They were truly stunning and transformed the space into something magical. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what truly sets Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm apart is the people. The Johnson family made us feel like family, and we are eternally grateful for the care and love they poured into making our wedding day a dream come true. We cannot wait to return to the farm for future celebrations or even just to enjoy a delicious homemade apple cider donut. Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts.
